N.F.L.

While we are surely biased here in the Pacific Northwest, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is now being mentioned as a legitimate candidate to win the N.F.L.'s Most Valuable Player by national media outlets.

Sunday's N.F.L. action produced one of the stranger ways a player can be tackled...  by their own junk!

Following the Denver Broncos second half collapse at New England last night, the bookmakers in Las Vegas have now installed the Seattle Seahawks as the favorite to win Super Bowl XLVIII (48)

It may not have reached the level of "Gangnam Style" by the latest internet-fueled music frenzy (for reasons unbeknownst to me) is Ylvis's "What Does the Fox Say?" The great Bob Rivers and his Twisted Radio crew have made a parody of it and, as a 12th Man, I prefer the new version much better.

In case you missed it before last Sunday's telecast of the Seattle Seahawks home game against the Minnesota Vikings (which Seattle won, 41-20) the Fox pre-game show "NFL Sunday" showed the entire country what we have known here in the Pacific Northwest for a long time.

This was the questioned posed by stalwart Seattle sports scribe Art Thiel.

This past week, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, along with eight members of the team, worked behind the counter at several Starbucks locations.

During the third quarter of last night's Seattle 34-22 victory over the Cardinals in Arizona, Seahawks running back was none to pleased when offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell called for a pass play on third down and goal to go.

Brandon Weeden passed for 197 yards and a touchdown in relief of starter Brian Hoyer, and the Browns overcame an early deficit to beat the Buffalo Bills, 37-24, on Thursday night in Cleveland.

While many in the northwest jumped up from their couches when Seahawks corner Richard Sherman intercepted a pass late in yesterday's game and returned it for a touchdown, the opposite feeling was being felt by fans of the Houston Texans.

Ever wonder what Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is saying to his coaches, teammates on the sideline and in the huddle? Wonder no more.  Last weekend, NFL.com mic'd up the second year QB.

This Sunday night, fans of the Seattle Seahawks will attempt to set a Guinness Book of World Records for the loudest stadium when they take on the visiting San Francisco 49'ers in a nationally televised game.
